Baby Back BBQ Ribs

My new goal is to become The "BBQ Queen" by the end of this summer.  I am at a great start, this past weekend I made some pretty amazing ribs if I do say so myself. 


2 racks of ribs

Marinade

Marinade:
Orange juice
1 lime - juiced
1 lemon - juiced
1 clove of garlic - smashed
1 tbsp of cayenne pepper

Salt and pepper your ribs, mix all ingredients above and pour in a bag with your ribs that have been seasoned with salt and pepper.  Let marinade for 4 hours or overnight turning the bag over to make sure meat is coated with the marinade well.

The Rub

Paprika- 2 tbsp
Salt- 2 tbsp
garlic powder- 2 tbsp
Onion powder- 1 tbsp
Italian seasoning mix - 2 tbsp
Cayenne pepper - 1 tbsp
brown sugar - 2 tbsp
Pepper - 1 tbsp

Cover ribs on all sides then put on grill at 275 for 3-4 hours, baste with sauce for the last 1 1/2 every 1/2 hour or so.

Bourbon BBQ Sauce
1 C Favorite Bourbon
Salt - 1 tbsp

Wrap ribs in foil and let sit for 30 min. before cutting

Wrap ribs in aluminum foil for when done cooking and let them sit for 30 minutes before cutting.  Top with the remainder of BBQ sauce and serve. Goes great with potato bombs, coleslaw and corn bread.
